Ante-Natal check-up

Ante-natal care refers to the health monitoring of the mother and unborn baby during the course of a woman’s pregnancy. All pregnant women need to have regular checks to make sure their baby is developing properly and that they are in good health. Ante-natal checks will tell you when your baby is due, identify any special health conditions and / or if you are risk of developing complications. Finally ante-natal checks are important to ensure early detection of any abnormalities in the baby’s development.
